Livermore Judge of the Superior Court Hall of Justice 400 County Center, 2 nd Floor Redwood City, CA 94063-1655 Dear Judge Livermore, On behalf of the City Council of the City of Redwood City, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Grand Jury Report, dated March 20, 2013, entitled "Can We Talk? Law Enforcement and Our Multilingual County." The following responses to the Grand Jury's Findings and Recommendations were reviewed and approved by the City Council at its meeting on June 10, 2013. The City Council has authorized me to present the City's responses to the Court as set forth below. The report contained six "findings" and four "recommendations" (only three of the four recommendations pertained to Redwood City). The City was required to submit comments to the Court no later than June 18, 2013. For all "findings," Council was to indicate one of the following: 1. Council agrees with the finding. 2. Council disagrees wholly or partially with the finding, in which case the response shall specify the portion of the response that is disputed, and shall include an explanation of the reasons therefore. Additionally, for the three applicable "recommendations," Council was requested to report one of the following actions: 1. The recommendation has been implemented, with a summary of the implemented action. 2. The recommendation has not been implemented, but will be implemented in the future, with a time frame for implementation. 3. The recommendation requires further analysis, with an explanation and the scope and parameters of an analysis or study, and a time frame for the matter to be prepared for discussion by the officer or director of the agency or department being investigated or reviewed, including the governing body of the public agency when applicable. This time frame shall not exceed six months from the date of the publication of the Grand Jury report. 4. The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable, with an explanation therefore.
